One unsettling fact for the Yankees is the difference when Jorge Posada catches. With Posada behind the plate, the Yankees? pitchers have a 6.31 E.R.A. The combined E.R.A. with Francisco Cervelli, Jose Molina and Kevin Cash is 3.81. Posada has caught four starts by Chien-Ming Wang, whose job status is now evaluated on a game-by-game basis. Even removing those starts, the staff?s E.R.A. with Posada is still high, at 5.47. |
